Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential primary in the District of Columbia, CNN projects.
The former Massachusetts governor will take all of the 16 delegates that were at stake Tuesday in D.C.’s winner-take-all contest.
Earlier Tuesday night, CNN projected that Romney would win in Maryland and take the majority of that state’s 37 delegates, which are awarded proportionally.
The wins put Romney past the halfway mark to the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the nomination. Romney holds a wide delegate lead over the other major GOP presidential candidates, according to CNN estimates.
The polls close in Wisconsin, Tuesday’s third contest, at 9 p.m. ET.
